As much as I like Ovechkin. If I was building a team around one of them, I'd choose Crosby over Ovechkin. I just see more leadership abilities with Crosby then with Ovechkin but I could be wrong with this one since I don't exactly have personal relationships with either of them. Crosby's a great role model as well, however some may portray that as "boring" since he doesn't live the flashy lifestyle.
As a entertainment factor, Ovechkin hands down. Hes still my favorite NHL player and I like him a lot more then Crosby. The only time I'd cheer against Ovechkin is probably during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
